Go To

This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.

Generally, expect the following from this thread:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

William, that's not true and you know it. If you're leaving forever, good bye and I'll miss you, and if it's temporary, rest up as best as you can.

You're looking for this person.

Yeah, Will, I can't stand you, barging into topics and saying that global warming is evil devil magic. You're not an idiot and even if you were (which, again, you are not) I wouldn't want you to leave, because you're a cool guy.

Besides, the best way to make the fora smarter were that even a goal would be to ban everybody but Nornagest.

You will be missed, William.

Are you still going to be doing Kunin stuff?

If you're not already gone.

Any chance you'll rethink this?

sad You're like my favourite person on this site. Well, maybe not, but up there. I mean, if you really think it will help you sleep then you should absolutely do it and I can totally empathize because I suffer from insomnia myself but still... sad

I guess it is.

Please don't leave. You're being way too hard on yourself. It bugs me that you think we don't care about you or that you're stupid because neither could be further from the truth.

Perhaps give it a little thinking time if you're considering leaving permanently.
